0b5c9db1b1 vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR check
Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive.  Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.

As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.

Fix up the skb->pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.

Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.

Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code.  Until then this keeps it working correctly.

264524d5e5 net: cpu offline cause napi stall
Frank Blaschka reported :
<quote>
  During heavy network load we turn off/on cpus.
  Sometimes this causes a stall on the network device.
  Digging into the dump I found out following:

  napi is scheduled but does not run. From the I/O buffers
  and the napi state I see napi/rx_softirq processing has stopped
  because the budget was reached. napi stays in the
  softnet_data poll_list and the rx_softirq was raised again.

  I assume at this time the cpu offline comes in,
  the rx softirq is raised/moved to another cpu but napi stays in the
  poll_list of the softnet_data of the now offline cpu.

  Reviewing dev_cpu_callback (net/core/dev.c) I did not find the
  poll_list is transfered to the new cpu.
</quote>

This patch is a straightforward implementation of Frank suggestion :

Transfert poll_list and trigger NET_RX_SOFTIRQ on new cpu.

ec764bf083 net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden
5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes)

be3fc413da net: use synchronize_rcu_expedited()
synchronize_rcu() is very slow in various situations (HZ=100,

 synchronize_rcu() in 73999 us
 synchronize_rcu() in 79855 us

When we hold RTNL mutex, we would like to spend some cpu cycles but not
block too long other processes waiting for this mutex.

We also want to setup/dismantle network features as fast as possible at
boot/shutdown time.

This patch makes synchronize_net() call the expedited version if RTNL is
locked.

6df427fe8c net: remove synchronize_net() from netdev_set_master()
In the old days, we used to access dev->master in __netif_receive_skb()
in a rcu_read_lock section.

So one synchronize_net() call was needed in netdev_set_master() to make
sure another cpu could not use old master while/after we release it.

We now use netdev_rx_handler infrastructure and added one
synchronize_net() call in bond_release()/bond_release_all()

Remove the obsolete synchronize_net() from netdev_set_master() and add
one in bridge del_nbp() after its netdev_rx_handler_unregister() call.

This makes enslave -d a bit faster.

Since GSO without SG will now only cause DEBUG message from

0696c3a8ac net:set valid name before calling ndo_init()
In commit 1c5cae815d (net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice),
a bug of bonding was involved, see example 1 and 2.

In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until
dev_get_valid_name() is called. But dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init(that is
bond_init) is called before dev_get_valid_name(),
and it uses the invalid name of net_device.

I think register_netdevice() should make sure that the name of net_device is
valid before calling ndo_init().

example 1:
modprobe bonding
ls  /proc/net/bonding/bond%d

ps -eLf
root      3398     2  3398  0    1 21:34 ?        00:00:00 [bond%d]

example 2:
modprobe bonding max_bonds=3

8ae6daca85 ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).

This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.

3aba891dde bonding: move processing of recv handlers into handle_frame()
Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond
device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into
bonding code later via ptype handlers. This patch converts
original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions
are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode.

Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged
thanks to vlan_untag()

Note that this also allows arpmon for eth-bond-bridge-vlan topology.

ea2d36883c net: Disable all TSO features when SG is disabled
The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable
TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.  However, the test in
netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated
to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed
that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags.

Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from
user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid
feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if
scatter-gather is disabled.  Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so
user-space sees all TSO features as disabled.

enabled, skb is untagged by NIC, vlan_tci is set and the skb gets into
vlan code in __netif_receive_skb - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive.

For non-rx-vlan-hw-accel however, tagged skb goes thru whole
__netif_receive_skb, it's untagged in ptype_base hander and reinjected

This incosistency is fixed by this patch. Vlan untagging happens early in
__netif_receive_skb so the rest of code (ptype_all handlers, rx_handlers)
see the skb like it was untagged by hw.

c6e1a0d12c net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmit
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement.  skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg.  This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.

Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data.  The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary.  For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.

This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply.  Platform is 16 core AMD x86.

No-cache copy disabled:
   672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
   50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41

No-cache copy enabled:
   702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
   50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955

Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:

No-cache copy disabled:
   79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
   50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76

No-cache copy enabled:
   83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
   50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88

Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).

This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran.  Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

79b569f0ec netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabled
In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled,
we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger
than the expected value.

This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has
TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets
without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb
and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled
when we want to check the mtu size.

8909c9ad8f net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN to load non-netdev kernel modules
Since a8f80e8ff9 any process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN may load any module from /lib/modules/.  This doesn't mean
that CAP_NET_ADMIN is a superset of CAP_SYS_MODULE as modules are
limited to /lib/modules/**.  However, CAP_NET_ADMIN capability shouldn't
allow anybody load any module not related to networking.

This patch restricts an ability of autoloading modules to netdev modules
with explicit aliases.  This fixes CVE-2011-1019.

Arnd Bergmann suggested to leave untouched the old pre-v2.6.32 behavior
of loading netdev modules by name (without any prefix) for processes
with CAP_SYS_MODULE to maintain the compatibility with network scripts
that use autoloading netdev modules by aliases like "eth0", "wlan0".

Currently there are only three users of the feature in the upstream
kernel: ipip, ip_gre and sit.

commit 9b5e383c11 (net: Introduce
unregister_netdevice_many()) left an active LIST_HEAD() in
rollback_registered(), with possible memory corruption.

Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore
touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better
close the bug for good, since its really subtle.

(Same fix for default_device_exit_batch() for completeness)

f87e6f4793 net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD
Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).

Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)

This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.
